Earlier this week, rapper Nas revealed to a group of high school students that getting his high school diploma is one of his goals right now. He also expressed his resent for dropping out of school at a young age.
Pittsburgh’s the Post-Gazette reports that Nas spoke to the students at the Boys & Girls Club of America’s annual National Keystone Conference in Pittsburgh.
“The reality of it is, you need to keep educating yourself, and I wish I had stayed in school,” Nas revealed to the group of high school students.

Nas, who dropped out of school in eighth grade, also spoke on leadership and his personal life.
“This is an incredible message, to have someone who succeeded so much in their life, but there is still a void,” said Frank Sanchez, the vice president for corporate and partner relationships for the Boys & Girls Clubs of America.
NBA player Bob Lanier and R&B singer/producer Ne-Yo also spoke to student’s at the annual conference.
